a16z & DeFi Education Fund Demand SEC Safe Harbor for dApps—Will Regulators Listen?
a16z & DeFi Education Fund Demand SEC Safe Harbor for dApps—Will Regulators Listen?

Crypto heavyweights draw battle lines as regulatory uncertainty looms over decentralized finance.
The Push for Clarity
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and the DeFi Education Fund aren’t asking—they’re telling. The SEC faces mounting pressure to carve out a safe harbor for dApps, or risk stifling the next wave of financial innovation (and, let’s be honest, a few vaporware projects too).
Why It Matters
Without clear rules, developers operate in a gray zone—where every line of code could trigger a lawsuit. The irony? Traditional finance gets bailouts while DeFi gets subpoenas.
What’s Next
Watch for SEC chair squirming. If history repeats, they’ll either overreach or drag their feet—either way, lawyers win.
